The store is most likely trying to do what they did to me when i first started and tried to sell you crap like Stress Zyme "friendly bacteria in a bottle" and other products just to make them some money. as Tolak said you have 3 options, 2 if you cant get a hold of any mature filter media pet...

a think pleco's are algae eaters so yes it would eat it

is your tank in any contact with sunlight? or how strong is your lighting in your tank? dont take my word for it but it could be some sort of algae i get brown patches on the back glass on my tank and on my filter intake bur its not as bad as that so it could be some sort of algae if it is algae...

Betta's prefer the temps of 24-30°C and neon tetras 20–26°C unsure about the platys so aim for about 25°C im sure your fish wont mind if the temp is a few degrees if you miss the mark. but i believe everybody will experience some sort of temp rise with the lights been on. My Edge uses 2 10W...

I use this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Digital-Fish-Aquarium-Tank-Water-Thermometer-UK-1st-/300594181362?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item45fccf34f2 Showes both C and F temps by sliding the slider along under the screen, its very accurate it does have a sucker on the end next to the...

well if your worried about it fallen apart you can get aquarium safe Putty the salty tank keepers use that stuff to glue coral and live rocks together in there tanks Examples if you glue sections of it together then place them in the tank once its set and arrange it how you want it the...

Your going to learn very very quickly that 95% of places that actually sell fish either give you the minimum amount of information and basiclly know very very little about fish keeping, you should talk to the people who actually keep the fish correctly in there community tanks at home, the real...

are you looking for it to be one large piece of rock? because most people just use multiple pieces and put them together, getting aquarium rock that size is going to be very hard :blink: and could possibly be abit on the heavy side aswell

hi guys tanks for the replies :) dh058977 My local fish store is Pets @ Home and i swear to god after buying my hamster from there i will never go back to that store even if you paid me which is why i get all my stuff online and the only other LFS around my area only specialise in livestock...

Oh by the way i would check the minimum size tank for a gold gourami im sure them fish can grow up to 6" so i dont think 3 to 5 gallons tank would be big enough to house them, some places recommend 1 gourami to 40litres of water so that works out about 10 US Gallons so you will need a 20 US...

if they have stopped i would monitor for another day or 2 first and see if it continue been aggressive it might have calmed down now my Betta fish was aggressive to 2 of the tetras i first put in my tank 2 days later it just was not bothered by them anymore and now happily live in the same tank...

hi there :) How big is your tank? from a line you said before "without EVER testing PH." and "how long i should leave the tank set up before adding fish?" PH is not your main worry with the tank your main worry is Ammonia, Nitrate and Nitrite do you know how to cycle your tank before adding...

its hard to say if it will survive or not because some people have attempted a fishless cycle and its taken months others a few weeks, you could take filter media out of your current tank to speed up the process of establishing the new one. If you are worried about it surviving while cycling the...

if you want a small tank and are not bothered by losing out on the design of the Edge why not try a Aquael Classic tank they come in a number of sizes and as far as i'm aware they come with everything you need to get started and can be picked up cheap aswell Aquael Classic 40

Hi Ruskull Welcome To The Forums :) i can not really comment on your problem you are having with the Gourami & the Sailfin Molly but Mollies do need salt in there water however a friend of mine has kept a large number of mollies in freshwater without salt for many years and his has been...

Double Post Sorry:)

yeah my friend had a betta with a dalmation molly and it really was not happy about it i might end up wit compatibility issues shortly because im looking at buying a larger tank and re-homing my tropical to convert my edge to a salty tank, so i might end up with a few fish in the new tank he...

Top Down A little Left From The Top its good to know his tail has healed up, mines in with 3 tetras and the first few days he was not happy they where in there with him and now he just dosnt care and the tetras dont bother him either so all seems good in mine :)

well the original edge comes with halogen lighting Hagen are releasing(or have) 2 new Edges the 23L comes with LED lights and the other is a 46L tank a think (its around that mark) but to be honest with it full you get nothing but bubbles from the filter or the betta blowing them, they get...

they are plastic mate didnt wanna go with a planted tank because its my first attempt at fish keeping so went with plastic and i dont do anything, hes been in there for about 3-5 months now and hes fine no sign of tearing or the tail getting shorter nothing he seems fine but after you have said...

hi mate i have a fluval edge with a betta and hes seems happy in it, although the tank is designed to be filled to the top bettas come to the surface to breath every now and again mine panicked a bit at first when he coulddnt find the small gap at the top of the tank so i would leave a few mm's...

Hi All just as the title says really has anybody tried using the aquael classic as a reef tank or would it not be possible? any thoughts on it?

what i don't understand is that i added the fish there only tetras so there tiny tested 2 days after putting them in water, levels were 0ppm, 6 days later water level still the same 8 days later i notice the white spot on the betta and started treating on day 9 its been 4 days since adding the...

Hi After my betta got sick with white spot after adding 3 new fish i began to treat him with white spot treatment my water levels have always been 0ppm with the betta and where fine for a few days after adding the new fish my water levels have spiked ammonia - 1.0ppm Nitrite - 0.50ppm...

wow after seeing this tread i really want to rehome my betta and convert my edge into a salty tank it looks great. wouldnt know the first place to start :( haha hows the coral doing with the lighting in the edge? Great tank though B-) :good:
